Nike Lebron 20

[mrdozo]

Da hell happened to Jason Williams. He looks very old.

So the 21s are just the 20s again?

Since the 12s the shoes have kept the same identity every 2 to 3 years

I don’t remember the 20s leaking this early

Kyrie 6 x LeBron 20

Nah. This is a damn near exact copy. The whole front upper and midsole is the same.

Saw the Nike Lifer pair in person…super clean and nothing at all like the Debut colorway.

I like a lot of the colorways, but also feel like this model had so much untapped potential. Still hard to believe that Nike didn’t release the pink Drew League pair or the Scoring Champ version

This is a horrible photoshop

Could also be a super early wear test sample with minor changes to tooling/upper only. Remember these Kobe 4/5 hybrid samples?

Yooooo I want those lol

I’m sure if Kobe were still alive, we’d see some Kobe 4.5s and other fusions. With him passing, we know Nike and Vanessa are holding out on us.

No disrespect to her or his legacy. Just facts based on these releases. Crazy part is, Kobe was so proud to see everyone wearing his shoes on courts during his career.

Hyperdunk x Kobe 4 was nice too.

Anyone have more comments on the forefoot cushion of the 20’s?

It’s crazy how many negative and related issues there on are Reddit bballshoes. A lot of knee pain comments, foot pain. Saying the tech is mostly for show “zoom turbo” but actually less of an ideal set up that a pg6 or even kyrie 5 or something.

And the overly soft (stability ridden) heel cushlon that needs to break in/pack out for stability and feedback. I guess NXXT solves that issue.

Plus the very prolonged break in, I was ready to cop a discounted ASG pair bc I think they are a nice colorway but pretty close to just moving on. Just seems for sure that the honeymoon phase and recency bias is gone when everyone was crowning this one of the best current performers

[mister friendly]

Some people want EVERY shoe to be lightweight and minimal.

The Lebron 20 is just a very cushioned low top shoe, that’s pretty much it. Surprising there’s not a lot of low top models that are very cushioned.


They work best with players who are explosive or over 200 pounds.

 

[g-time]

Yea shoe is meant for a 6’8 265+ pound guy. With that being said I haven’t experienced some of these issues y’all are talking about. Played in the ASG pair this week.

 

[grittyman]

The heel doesn’t bother me at all… I play a lot in Kobe 5/6 Protros which are also softer in that same area minus the Zoom. Probably helps that I play mostly on my toes anyway.

The forefoot isn’t overly bouncy, if that’s what you’re looking for. More of a nice balance between responsiveness, impact protection and spring… basically nothing different from any other Zoom Turbo setup (outside of the Kyrie 5, first time I’ve seen it in a hoop shoe)
Overall these are still the best performing shoes out there for me.

the back of the 21 looks like the jordan 2 or rather the back of the jordan 32 low

 

[noblekane]

cant believe i missed all the sales on the 20. was the black red and violet frost available in sizes 11-12?

 

[grittyman]

No and no.

We need another as great of an performance shoe as these. Still use my high's regularly.

Them been gone. I should have jumped on the Debuts and Xmas when I could. Forgetting the Nike one year return…

As much as they’re not fashion friendly shoes, I’d say the reverence of the Jordan XX8, XX9, etc is high. Folks have nothing but good things to say about the 36-37!!
